Updating the challenge system

Over this year, the weekly challenges have become the most engaging activity in the PornWorks community — new categories, hundreds of works, dozens of participants, heated discussions, later — vote riggers and individual breakdowns.
It’s time to change the challenges themselves. We’ve come up with a new system. Here’s what makes it great, why it’s needed, and why it’s convenient for both participants and organizers.

Why we’re updating the system

In autumn 2025, some people began manipulating votes: they registered a bunch of new accounts to win. Overtly weak works were winning.
After that we introduced individual breakdowns — whoever did better won. Many people liked them and benefited from them, which raised the quality of the works. But they took so much time that doing anything else became unrealistic.

Why this is needed

We want to keep the benefits of breakdowns while reducing the time spent. So we created a guide that organizers use to evaluate participants’ works and identify winners. It also describes the mistakes participants most often make and how to fix them in practice.
This guide will help to:

  • Preserve fair and honest judging
  • Avoid vote manipulation
  • For organizers — reduce the time to evaluate 250+ works
  • For participants — improve image generation skills

What changed

Now each image is evaluated not «by eye» but by clearly defined criteria.
Each work receives a score in six categories:

  1. Relevance to the theme — does the work convey the essence of the task?
  2. 提示 — how accurately does the image implement what the author described in text?
  3. Anatomy — are the pose, proportions, and details natural?
  4. Composition and light — is there focus, depth, and scene readability?
  5. Pose and expressiveness — does the character convey emotion and liveliness?
  6. Style and integrity — does the work look finished and memorable?

 

In each category you can score up to 10 points. Whoever scores the most — wins.

No more breakdowns?

Individual breakdowns will move to a new format. We plan to launch monthly breakdowns — detailed reviews of community works. We’ll analyze the best and the worst works.

Takeaways

We created this system together with the community and for the community. Now every challenge is honest, transparent, and fair.
